Results are then normalised using means and average variability over the last 10 years. The grey bars represent valuation index variability relative to that of the All Country World Index (ACWI).

    GTM Europe |Emerging markets equity valuations by country

    Source: FactSet, MSCI, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Each valuation index shows an equally weighted composite of four metrics: price to forward earnings (forward P/E), price to current book (P/B), price to last 12 months cash flow (P/CF) and price to last 12 months dividends. Results are then normalised using means and average variability over the last 10 years. The grey bars represent valuation index variability relative to that of the All Country World Index (ACWI).
